Kingslayer, Ned said. The rumors 1 were true, then. He rode on dangerous ground now, he knew. "弑君者。"奈德道。这么说来，所有的谣言都属实了。他很清楚自己此刻措辞务必小心谨慎。
An able and courageous 2 man, no doubt, he said carefully, but his father is Warden 3 of the West, Robert. "他有能力，也不缺勇气，这毋庸置疑。"他小心翼翼地说，"但是劳勃，他父亲是世袭的西境守护，
In time Ser Jaime will succeed to that honor. No one man should hold both East and West. 詹姆爵士迟早要继承父职，东西诸国的大权不应落入同一个人手里。"
He left unsaid his real concern; that the appointment would put half the armies of the realm into the hands of Lannisters. 他没把真正想说的话说出来：如此一来王国一半的兵力将会落入兰尼斯特家族的手中。
I will fight that battle when the enemy appears on the field, the king said stubbornly. "等敌人出现了再打也不迟，"国王执拗地说，
At the moment, Lord Tywin looms 4 eternal as Casterly Rock, so I doubt that Jaime will be succeeding anytime soon. "眼下泰温公爵好端端地待在凯岩城，我想詹姆还不至于太快继承职位。
Don’t vex 5 me about this, Ned, the stone has been set. 奈德，这事儿别跟我争，说出去的话，覆水难收了。"
Your Grace, may I speak frankly 6? "陛下，请恕我直言不讳。"
I seem unable to stop you, Robert grumbled 7. They rode through tall brown grasses. "反正我也阻止不了你。"劳勃咕哝着。他们骑过棕褐长草。
Can you trust Jaime Lannister? "你真信任詹姆·兰尼斯特？"
He is my wife’s twin, a Sworn Brother of the Kingsguard, his life and fortune and honor all bound to mine. "他是我老婆的孪生弟弟，又是发过誓的御林铁卫，他的生死荣辱都维系在我身上。"
As they were bound to Aerys Targaryen’s, Ned pointed 8 out. "当年他的生死荣辱不也全维系在伊里斯·坦格利安身上？"奈德不客气地指出。
Why should I mistrust him? He has done everything I have ever asked of him. His sword helped win the throne I sit on. "我有什么理由不信任他？我叫他办的事他没有一次让我失望，就连我现在的王位都是靠他的宝剑赢来的咧。"
His sword helped taint 9 the throne you sit on, Ned thought, but he did not permit the words to pass his lips. 正是他的宝剑玷污了你的王位啊，奈德心想，但没让自己说出口。
He swore a vow 10 to protect his king’s life with his own. Then he opened that king’s throat with a sword. "他发誓以性命守护国王，结果却一剑割了国王的喉咙。"
